From the Run-Through: The Bandana as Pocket Square

Those glossy fashion spreads you see each month in GQ don't happen overnight, and are the results of tireless hours of work from our fashion team. Each look is meticulously selected and arranged, with no detail left untouched, in a run-through prior to every shoot. Trust me, the amount of useful tips that come out of even one of these sessions could fill a style guide.

Hoping to share more of these with our faithful GQ readers, I bring you this one from GQ creative director Jim Moore, who suggests using a bandanna as an alternative to the classic pocket square. Bandanas are cheap (you can score 'em by the fistful at your local thrift store), can instantly give a pop of color to any suit or jacket and the more worn-in they get, the better they look.

Since 1957, GQ has inspired men to look sharper and live smarter with its unparalleled coverage of style, culture, and beyond. From award-winning writing and photography to binge-ready videos to electric live events, GQ meets millions of modern men where they live, creating the moments that create conversations.
